The piece relates to how US strategy toward dealing with Russia (presuming that there is a strategy), and important foreign policy positions concerning Iran, Syria, the Muslim Brotherhood and Europe, are...

Congratulations to my former students, who have put together the second issue of Active Measures journal. It’s available now on Amazon.

Viewers of satellite TV in Iran will now be prosecuted, according to a top state security official. That’s bad news for the short term, but good news for the long term, because it means that the Islamic Republic knows that it is dying. For months, state security agents have been...

Within hours of the Basij murder of human rights activist Haleh Sahabi, a new entry on Wikipedia appeared, which changed the facts to suit the regime’s official line. The Wikipedia page was altered from the original entry, which said she died during a struggle at her father’s funeral, and change...

This video, brought to us by Freedom Messenger and taken this month, shows a special operations crew on a rooftop so a commando can rappel down to destroy satellite dishes....

(From IranChannel.org) Did you ever wonder what those mullahs did with the monthly zakat contributions from faithful Iranian Muslims? This video gives an idea.

Here’s something you don’t see every day: Protesters burning the flags of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Soviet Union Russia, and Communist China. Syrian protesters know who’s propping up their murderous regime, as we can see from this video posted May 20.

About PoliticalWarfare.org

This website is devoted to ways and means of defeating the enemy without fighting him, what we call political warfare. Ancient Chinese general Sun Tzu had a similar concept, which has been translated as "the acme of skill."

The site is especially inspired by Samuel Adams, arguably the father of the American Revolution, whose use of political warfare as an instrument of strategic influence inspired divided colonists to seek independence and a new political system.

Both Samuel Adams and Sun Tzu illustrate the banner of this site.
